I decided to do a Context Mapping session with a target group I thought had the need of an escape: people who are working behind a desk all day. My goal was to get a clear view on the latent thoughts of these people when they thought of their work, focusing on the lunch break. This session gave a lot of insights; during lunch break there is a need for \u2018rest\u2019 or \u2018(social) interaction\u2019. My participants thought \u2018escape\u2019 was too negative. Words like \u2018pause\u2019, \u2018break\u2019 and \u2018shift\u2019 suited better. I continued exploring the context by searching for existing solutions, talking to the target group a lot and via design explorations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/?attachment_id=414\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-414\" title=\"Shift scenario1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario1-495x263.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario1-495x263.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario1-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario1.jpg 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Design Explorations:<\/h3>\n<p>I did a lot of design explorations by drawing and brainstorming. Especially the brainstorm sessions with a couple of student from our studio were very generative and useful. While designing, first the focus was on passive objects to fulfill the need of rest. Then I decided to explore more in the direction of interactive products that make people aware of the noise surrounding us. I came up with a \u2018Tunnel\u2019 that played with sound. To evaluate different concepts with sounds, I tested some of them with a small group to gain feedback. Eventually I wanted to avoid an imposed interaction and tried to return to an object people can use when they want\/need to. The final concept was evaluated by making all kinds of scale models that were used in a stop motion movie. This was a very effective way of testing the imposed interaction without building large prototypes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/?attachment_id=415\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-415\" title=\"Shift scenario2\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario2-495x220.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario2-495x220.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario2-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-scenario2.jpg 1121w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Final Design:<\/h3>\n<p>The final design is a big and soft chair in the shape of a Shift-key placed in for instance the canteen of an office. When someone needs a silent moment during lunch break, s\/he can take a relaxing seat on the Shift. If someone wants to take a seat in the Shift, the key-shape will transform into a chair. Once the person is seated, s\/he will be embraced by the chair, especially around their head. It will block surrounding noise and play the reassuring sound of birds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/?attachment_id=413\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-413\" title=\"Shift product2-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product2-1-495x292.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product2-1-495x292.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product2-1-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product2-1.jpg 1609w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/2012\/07\/27\/living-project-4\/shift-product1-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-412\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-412 aligncenter\" title=\"Shift product1-1\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product1-1-495x281.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product1-1-495x281.jpg 495w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product1-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/files\/2012\/08\/Shift-product1-1.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 85vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Joep Deiman<br \/>\nProviding a temporary shift within the city for working people to get an engaging moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":410,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-225","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-living","category-all-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=225"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1435,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225\/revisions\/1435"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=225"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=225"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/studiolab.ide.tudelft.nl\/studiolab\/exploringinteractions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=225"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
